HEATING CLIP FOR PERMANENT HAIR WAVING Original Filed May 12. 1948 Patented Dec. 16, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT QEFICE HEATING CLIP FOR PERMANENT HAIR WAVING Jean Leclabart, Paris, France 1 Claim.

The present invention which is a division of the U. S. patent application No. 26,558 filed May 12, 1948, and now abandoned, relates to heating clips for permanent hair waving.

It is an object of the present invention to prevent the hot parts of the heating clip from getting into contact with the scalp of the person being treated without necessity of inserting distinct protecting pads between the clip and the scalp.

The single figure of the annexed drawing is a perspective view of the heating clip.

The heating clip is of the conventional type comprising a pair of jaws 32, hinged to each other and adapted to clamp or squeeze a hair strand coiled about a core or mandrel with the aid of resilient clamping straps 33. Said heating clip is provided according to the invention on each jaw with side guard strips 34 connected at the ends 38 thereof to, and heat insulated from, said jaws. Said guard strips 34 extend below the jaws 32 with which they form apertures such as 31 and prevent the hot parts of the clip from getting into contact with the scalp and at the same time provide a base for a reliable resting of the heating clip on the clients scalp. The apertures such as 37 extend nearly over the entire length of the strip-shaped guards 34 and allow a circulation of air which effectively cools the strip-shaped guards. Said clip is retained in its position by the pressure of the jaws 32 upon the core or mandrel.

Heat-insulating shells surround the jaws 32 and carry holders 36, whereby the heating clip can be opened and closed without exposing one's self to any danger of burning ones fingers.

What I claim as new is:

A heating clip for permanent hair waving, comprising a pair of jaws hinged to each other, resilient means urging said jaws towards each other, and strip-shaped guards connected at the ends thereof to said jaws, respectively, and forming apertures therewith, said strip-shaped guards being heat-insulated from, and extending below, said jaws whereby said apertures provide air circulation means cooling said strip-shaped guards.

JEAN LECLABART.
